Why do "Brahman's" always use special wooden stool to sit for pooja/mantra ?

Superstition:  According to the Hindu custom, people believe that "Brahman's" sitting directly on ground is an unbearable burden to the mother "Earth". So they should always sit on a stool or on something which will keep them lifted. But still why they use those special made wooden stools to sit on.

Science: Basically their are 3 good reason for using special wooden stool by them to sit,
   1. Sitting directly on the floor transfer the cold waves from naked floor to the human body and those wave directly put effect on the spinal disc, since for pooja/mantra they sit for a long time period.

  2. Again when you sit on ground for along you feel uncomfortable just because of the gravitational effect acting on you. So to neutralize the effect the shape of the stool(Avanipalaga) is given some curve, basically shaped as tortoise.

  3. Finally why wood, reason is wood is a bad conductor for transferring heat/cold energy.

So scientific wooden stool save them from spinal problems and also these stools are also made out of specific trees.

Why should we must touch the feet of our elders.... is it a tradition or just like that?

Superstition: Touching feet of parents or grandparents is a tradition in most of the Indian family from very old days. Most of them do so in-order to show their respect to their elders and some do just because of a reason called "Traditional custom" and some not even bother to do so, thinking that its bull-shit. Anyways it has a very importance in the society, but way should we obey this custom in this new generation? think dear friend think......



Science: Yes this custom is also having some science. I don't know how many of you know the flow of our body energy, but the science behind this superstition is hidden in this concept. Basically the energy flow of our body is from our head to toe and then back to head, as you can see in the image below.

 

   Now imagine the situation when you are touching the feet of your parents. like the one in the image above.

 In case of the parent the energy flow from their head to toe and back to their head, in between when to are touching their feet you start steal energy from the circuit.

   Confused!!

  That is, now the energy flow path will be form your parents head to their toe and then from their toe to your head and from your head to your toe and then from your toe to back to your head, in short you start acting like a charger plugged in a socket. 

  So get charged for the day by touching your parents or elderly peoples feet every time, and if possible then improvise this hidden science with some respect.

  Enjoy the day....

Why do people put chandan on forehead?

Superstition: Applying chandan(sandalwood paste) on forehand shows the spirituality towards the god, especially in Hindu custom.
       Is it really so........

Science: The reason of applying the chandan on forehead can be better explained using an example. Consider brain as the central processing unit of a computer. On working of CPU in a computer it gets heated up and it might get over heated, leading to damage, so in order to maintain the temperature we use cooling fans attached to it. Now consider similar case with our brain. Brain is the CPU of our body and in order maintain to temperature we apply chandan.
  Simple thing but it is having very big importance, because, if your mind is under control then only you can create wonders.....

Never sweep home after evening.... why?

Superstition: Their is a thought, or, say a custom in most of the Indian families that never sweep the house after daybreak or never use the broom after daylight or even say that if you pick up the broom after daylight then your mom might fall sick. Lol!!!!.... but what do you thing, what would be the reason


Science: The fact behind this thought is not stupid but actually very wise, the reason is in old days, when their were no electricity in houses at night people used candles or kerosene lamps for light.
The amount of light intensity from lamp were not enough in comparison to sunlight, resulting the vision over things surrounded were not clear at night. On such a scenario in present if you sweep your floor their are chances that you might sweep out some thing or things valuable with the dust out of your home, and getting back will be near to impossible.
              Even today with all the bright light at night their are chance of losing things on sweep. So obey the elders, because their advice what you feel stupid are actually wise for your life.

Touch the floor when you wake up in the morning why?

Superstition:
              In Hindu custom elder once usually say that when you wake early in the morning from bed, you should touch the floor first then should get out from the bed,  in order to show respect to the mother earth like you show respect to your parent by touching their feet for blessing.

Science:
             Reason is that when you are in bed your body is above the ground at certain height, resulting our body to store energy called potential energy. On touching our hand on the ground this stored energy is drained out of our body through our contact point to the ground making us feel good.(This phenomenon is similar to discharging of charge to ground ).
            Again why use hand not feet, reason is that our body's energy flow is from feet to head and again from head to feet in a circular path. So on touching hand on ground the flow of energy sustains but on touching your feet first result a negative flow of energy causing the reduction of energy in your body, just like, think river is body's energy flow and you swim with the river current
